Tureen, cream, cover and stand
Young, William Weston (William Weston Young (1776-1847), cousin of the physician, physicist and Egyptologist Thomas Young, pursued a varied career not only as an entrepreneur, surveyor and botanist but also as an artist. Between 1803 and 1806 he was employed by Lewis Weston Dillwyn as a draughtsman for his scientific publications, but he also worked as a painter at the Cambrian Pottery. His painting on ceramics is distinguished by its precise detailed manner and by the intellectual interests it demonstrates, whether cultural (such as bards and druids) or scientific (such as birds, butterflies and animals).)
Cream tureen, cover, and stand, soft-paste porcelain; tureen on a narrow pedestal base, curved spreading sides, and twig handles with foliate terminals; slightly domed cover with pineapple finial surrounded by acanthus leaf moulding; stand on a straight sided foot rim, curving into cushion moulded and curved spreading sides; tureen painted on the body with a botanical specimen in green, purple and yellow enamels, the cover painted with a garland ( fuschia?) in red and green enamels; wide gilt bands to foot rim and lip, gilt handles and finial.
